Giovanni Bonello's Histories of Malta is the first volume in a series of forthcoming publications. Collected here are 34 contributions of a historical nature, ranging from topics of Malta's Islamic past, in the article about Majmuna's tombstone, to the Fascist interest in the Island as reflected in postal history. The subjects are diverse and unrelated but are held together through their Maltese connection.The book is once again a product of years of research and in-depth study delivered in the form of 'micro-history', Bonello's favourite style of writing. This publication is therefore an entirely enjoyable experience to the reader and most of all to the Melitensia lovers.Giovanni Bonello is a Judge of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He writes extensively on human rights, art, history and postal history topics.
